Text Filtering

Best Practices

Player Names

In Hi-Rez’s version of UE4, UPUMG_PlayerInfo has a FilteredName object that is empty if we have not yet filtered the player’s MCTS name through the platform’s SDK. Because this is an asynchronous operation on some platforms, we have created a delegate wrapper system that can be induced by calling GetOrCreatePlayerInfoWithSanitizedNameAsync.

Just as with Custom Games, if you allow players to apply their own naming to anything, those names must go through text sanitization before being displayed to other players.
